Max Payne moview review: "It won't commit wholeheartedly to being a video game movie, yet it still grabs onto some of the trappings of the inherent silliness of video games"

I played MP1 but never played the second one, I saw an ad for the movie and noticed they put demons in it, I was like
"WTF? Demons in Max Payne?".

juuken6433d ago

EXACTLY! O-o

I thought Max Payne was about a cop trying to deliver some justice?!

I haven't seen it yet but wtf were they thinking? ._.;

Skizelli6433d ago

The "demons" are hallucinations caused by the drugs.

Daurelus176432d ago

this movie will seem amazing. when dragonball comes out

jaffa_cake6433d ago

movie is soo silly when did you see a flying beast in the game, wish a real gamer would make these movies not some joker whos never played a video game or played mario in the day and considers him self a gamer joke!

iMarcus6433d ago

Actually I thought having the Valkyries contributed well to the overall experience, it went more in depth showing what Valkyr did.

I thought the movie was excellent, although I can see how some people wouldn't like the movie, I'm an avid Max Payne fan, well invested in the characters and story. It wouldn't of mattered if this movie sucked, just being there as a representation of a game series I adore is enough.

Great Movie imo.

I am a big fan of MaxPayne game. I watched the movie last night & I was like wtf? The only resemblance this movie has with the game is just its name. Plus the movie itself is meh...

I saw the movie on Saturday and I thought it was quite well done. It didn't follow the plot of the game exactly but I enjoyed the movie better than I would have if it had. What fun it would be to sit in the theater watching Max Payne walk around on a trail of blood for 20 minutes while you heard some stupid baby crying in your ear.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy came out a while back. Its story line had tons of changes from the books. I imagine there were a lot of unhappy Tolkien fans but the movies didn't get panned. Agreeably they were dealing with better source material than Max Payne, but they still deviated quite a bit from what was available.
I think if Max Payne is going to be rated low it should not be based on the fact that it deviated from the game's storyline.

eXo86433d ago

Well, when the lead actor, producers, and script writer all never played the game.. a lot might get lost in translation.

Lolliflop Lolliflop 6433d ago

Problem is the director is a disgruntled Xturd that had just learned of Too Humans inevitable flopping,this is why both production and directing values are of low quality in the movie

THWIP6433d ago

...a more pathetic waste of DNA has never existed. You are the dumbest piece of sh1t on the planet. :o

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing32d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit32d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing32d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9232d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
